Corrupting an 8 year old with my classic systems and pinball machine.

    Over the course of about 5 games of pinball, she went from ~1000 points and barely able to hit the ball to 30,000 -- trapping the ball with the flippers and hitting selected targets.

    I saw an episode of Looney Tunes where the coyote killed and ate the roadrunner.

    But they love you. They're just trying to get close.

    I'm also not fond of the pink chrysanthemum and ladybug faceplate...

    If you put a blanket over your head and use a magnifying glass, it's like virtual reality.

Just carried a 113 lb. 32" TV across the first floor, up a flight of stairs and across the second floor. And boy are my arms tired.

    I bet the hard part was figuring out how to hold on to it and not the weight. I can carry a lot of weight but some things you just can't get your arms around.

    Luckily, it has some sorta handholds on the top/back. They're made for holding it on it's back while being carried by two people, but I was able to lift and carry it by those. Awkward to say the least. But, hanging 100+ lbs. on just my fingers for that long is not something I want to do on a regular basis.

Picked up a 60" HDTV this weekend. In and of itself that doesn't mean much for my classic gaming, but it does free up a 32" CRT for that.

    I think anything from the size of an old computer screen up to a 27" is ideal for classic gaming. Never gamed on a 5", but that would be interesting. :)

    I did once play the VCS on a small portable LCD TV, like 4' in 4:3 format. It was great.

    I used to play on a 13" tv until it died. NOw I play on a 19"TV and I wonder how I ever played on such a smaller screen.

Just spotted on craigslist in an ad for Atari games: "To the guy who bought Air Raid from me this morning please answer my messages and return me the game I didn't know the value of the game I will give you your money back and $100 more thanks"

Thought last night of a long-out-of-touch friend I played a lot of Atari with back in my school days. He was one day older than me. Searched the internet to see what I could find. Found a picture of his grave...
